Cooktop Ranges


It might pay to fix a high-end unit but not a low-end one unless the problem is minor. Common problems:

Electronic ignition systems for gas ovens or cooktops.
  • These often become slow to light or fail to light at all after five years of use. Repair cost: $100.
Failure of the digital control system for a gas or electric range.
  • This is a costly problem. Repairs can run $100 to $250 for parts, plus $100 or more for labor.
No gas coming through.
  • The problem could be one of the gas valves in your range. If the main gas valve is turned on, the range may require service. A gas appliance technician may be needed rather than one from your local gas utility. Call the utility only if you suspect a problem with the home gas supply, which usually would affect all gas appliances. Repair cost: $150 to $250 for a new gas valve or to have an oven igniter replaced. Considering that new gas ranges cost $500 to $2,000, they often are worth repairing.
